Ever have an occasion and look at your stash of cards and have NOT A SINGLE card that fits. I think to myself, for goodness sakes I make cards and I got NOTHIN'. So I decided a generic card stash was in order and came up with this one. Could be good for any occasion really. I like to do a self test:

Sympathy? Sure the kraft makes it somberBirthday? Why not, it's fresh like another year about to start for the birthday recipientAnniversary? You betcha, it's a LOVE-ly card!

If your card meets all the requirements, you have yourself a perfect GENERIC card!

Did you know there are 40+ different ways to tie a knot? I mean a bow can get "old" after a while.

This actually "ties in" with the sentiment well. Tying a knot on your finger to help you remember to do something, and in that same fashion, the knot on the card pays homage to the sentiment "thinking of you"!

I am not sure what type my card has, but this is what happens when you "cut the rope" too short. Speaking of...do you know that game? Such a fun app!

it felt nice to make this card. no pressure, just created something fun. I didn't think about how I was gonna push myself to creative limits or how to manipulate it so I can enter it in a 100 challenges. I just made it. and it was nice :) This is why I started making cards, to be creative and artistically expressive...a gift I got from my father.

You know when you are little and don't appreciate the deliciousness of a good zucchini? Well that's how I am with people imaged stamps. I wasn't joining that movement, until I met Mimi.

This little Penny Black girl named Mimi has stolen my heart. And sadly, I don't color so it's hard to make her shine without also adding copic coloring skills to my design repertoire. Slowly easing into this medium, so be nice :)
